Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

1. blurry but that's wha you meant by size, right?

2. the GASM logo is a semi-transparent PNG image, so on a white background it should not have a black rectangle

3. the word "raid" maybe sounds a bit too 4channish / Anonymous-like? how about "crusade" or uhm i dunno, something else?

4. what format is this going to be? if text/html, you can't use this font because people might not have it (although you can enter substitution fonts for that case), if it will be an image, people cannot click the links. at least make sure the links are entirely on one line in that case.

rat: about IRC we can also put up a few links that people can just click on, either IRCatwork or a pjirc java applet host somewhere (anywhere).
5. feb 2nd is in two days, can we get the word out that quickly?

but, i like it!

also good idea might be to re-issue a short reminder at the set time at all the places where this is spread, just to get the instant gratification crowd, "oh something is happening? let's take a look", get them to the IRC channel and talk them into joining right there right then.

Ratatosk:  Well, I was hoping that IRC would act as the main command centre for anyone wanting to take part.  This would be the the advertising, telling people what they needed to know, and hopefully they'd turn up either here on in IRC and from there on in we could coordinate.

000:

1) Yeah, mostly.  I have it both in pdf and .doc format, if anyone could figure out how to get a single, high quality screenshot/jpg of the entire page.

2) I like this one better, but OK.

3) Not really a Crusade though, either.  barely a Jihaad, although that could work.  Foray maybe, as well.

4) I think sooner is better than later.  If we say next Friday, I doubt anyone will show up.

This Saturday sounds great. and I agree with linking for IRC 000, that makes good sense.

Maybe we could call it a skirmish, mission (gasM) or just "Field Trip"?

- i could make the screenshot out of the pdf, but i'm leaving in a few moments, so it might be better if somebody else did it.

- if it's okay with faust i could even set up the java applet at http://principiadiscordia.com/irc or something. since an applet runs client side, it would use no bandwidth other than the code for the applet itself (around ~200k IIRC)

- for GASM, somebody just tag some relevant links with both "gasm" and "glpgasm" on del.icio.us and it'll appear on the feed automagically. we could even post screenshots to flickr if we wanna show off (but they'd have to be (incorrectly) marked as "photo" otherwise they don't seem to appear on public feeds, and i dunno if flickr likes that, i wouldn't use my own account for that, but a new one is easily made)

1) How about "strike"?

2) I'll upload the pdf with a couple of changes.

3) If not, mibbit.com works easily

4) sounds good.

5) Who should we invite?  EB&G and POEE are a given...23ae?  The Myspace groups?  I'll certainly post it up to my blog once it is finished.

mibbit.com looks SWOTE, thanks for the link!

i looked through the FAQ and the following link already has the server and channel filled in, for ease of use:

That link would be better to put in the raid poster then, because it would send them immediately there, regardless of technical skill.

Yeah, I realized that needed to be changed as well.  Edit: fixed http://mihd.net/fspk35

What is at the mihd link? That domain is also now blocked.

That was the updated, .doc version of the picture, so hopefully someone could edit it into something a bit nicer looking.

Damn, I have birthday parties all day Saturday.

I have a Cthulhu Live game to run Sat night, but I'll be on the first crew for sure :).

Will people be in the chat room to help n00bs throughout the day? I'm working on setting up a shell with Emacs IRC running, but till then I have no access during the day.

If so, I'll post the IRC link in some forums today.

What stuff is ready to blitz the poor unsuspecting Discordians with?

Is all of this ready for use as propaganda, or is final polishing still in process? I have posts ready and waiting for a GO.
